Everything from start to finish, from the spacious and comfortable room. The location is great, quiet and safe. Guyathri was kind and welcoming. An incredible conversationalist. She gave me a wonderful list of places to visit in Colombo. Ended my journey at Barefoot gallery/cafe. Highly recommend. Read a review about the blinds and there wasn’t an issue.

    Great spot! Lovely building in a good location (walking distance to a supermarket and a good base to explore Colombo by foot or cheap tuktuk). Very clean room and ensuite bathroom. Lovely rooftop with nice view. Use of the washing machine, kettle, fridge. Our host was welcoming, delightfully kind and so very helpful. You get a lot for a small price at this place. Highly recommended!

    Lovely modern hotel overlooking the sea. Pool on the 9th floor small but very nice and cold beers went down well. Rooms were spacious, comfortable, well equipped, very clean and great bathroom. We loved the location - few cheap and cheerful street food/chea fun eating places and shops nearby and the lovely Barefoot cafe and shop round the corner. But very easy access to the centre of the city, Galle Face, markets, train station via tuk tuk for very little money.

    This place is great, perfect location for everything you would want to see in Colombo and if you have Uber can get to places very easily and for very little money(a lot cheaper than flagging down random tuk tuks) Hotel rooms are modern and very clean. The rooftop pool/jacuzzis are a vibe, great for relaxing and all staff super friendly and accommodating.
